We’re working with a growing biopharma environment looking for a senior-level analytical leader to take ownership of analytical activities supporting biologic products as they move from development into routine manufacture.
This is a hands-on technical role with real influence - shaping analytical approaches, supporting technology transfer, and ensuring methods remain robust, compliant, and fit for purpose across the product lifecycle.
What you’ll be doing:
*Setting and driving analytical approaches for biologic programmes, from development through to commercial supply
*Leading method development, validation, optimisation, and ongoing lifecycle improvements
*Supporting tech transfer and scale-up activities, working closely with manufacturing and MSAT teams
*Overseeing analytical data review, interpretation, and technical reporting
*Acting as a key analytical voice for regulatory activities, audits, and submissions
*Introducing new techniques, methods, and equipment to strengthen analytical capability
*Providing technical guidance and mentoring to more junior scientists within the team
What they’re looking for:
*Strong background in pharmaceutical analytical development within a CMC setting
*Solid experience working with biologics, including characterisation and method lifecycle management
*Proven ability to lead technical workstreams and influence cross-functional teams
*Comfortable working across quality, manufacturing, regulatory, and external partners
*Clear communicator who can balance technical depth with practical decision-making
This would suit someone who enjoys being technically close to the work, while also shaping strategy and standards across analytical activities.
